At present, kernel documentation uses system serif font for body text.
Some people, however, objected to it and instead prefer that the
typography choice must be legible, consistent, and accessible (after
all, the audience ranges developers peeking into kernel internals to
ordinary users that skimmed through Documentation/admin-guide/).

To tackle the problem, follow Wikimedia's typography refresh [1].
For the font choices, instead of using web fonts as in previous
attempt [2], use:

   * Linux Libertine, Georgia, Times for serif (used in h1 and h2
     headings)
   * system font for sans-serif and monospace

This allows for more readability and consistency without sacrificing
page load times and bandwidth, as the font choices is most likely
already available on many platforms.

Hi,

Could you share (links to) screenshots of the new look?

I know external links are ephemeral by nature and we prefer to have
stuff archived, but I think it would really help everybody to be able to
see what you see after applying the patches without having to build it
ourselves.

Thanks.
